About the Piece
You can see more of McRay’s work in the exhibition Wit & Vision: The Creative Collaboration of McRay Magleby and Norman Darais, which is open now.
BYU and McRay Magleby
Over the course of two decades, BYU hosted the partnership of a match made in heaven. In 1978, graphic designer McRay “Mac” Magleby, best known for iconic logos for the 2002 Olympics and Young Women’s torch, began working with writer Norm Darais on a series of posters for the BYU Registration Department. Soon their creations proved so popular that students began stealing them from walls across campus to decorate their dorms and apartments.
In this exhibition, you’ll see not only original editions of Magleby’s most iconic images, but the collaborative efforts of this dynamic duo to educate and delight the campus community. It has myths and monsters. Shoes and ships. It even has bugs and biplanes and bicycles to boot! You’ll love how, with a perfect design and inspired text, even the most ordinary subjects become priceless works of art.
Visit the show and then take home a beautiful paper print of Dodo today!
